Hi! I'm Eléonore - usually called Léo/Elé/Ellie or whatever shortened version of Eléonore, as you like. I grew up in a village counting more vines than inhabitants, and moved to Paris last year, enjoying its cultural wealth :)
Let's say I'm pretty kind, eager learner, easily marveled, most excited when it comes to travelling. I love the smell of books, off-beat humour, good food and wine, and many more.

I'm planning a 2 weeks interrail trip in August, and expect to come to Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, or Germany...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Curious by nature, I love travelling and discovering new stuff and people from every culture! Hospitality is a dear value to me, and Couchsurfing seems perfect to experience this and meet people who share this philosophy, hence my presence :)

Can't host for now...

Interests

I'm fond of music, cinema, arts (in general), architecture and monuments
I spend most of my free time reading, cooking, drawing, painting, sewing, visiting museums, hiking, making plans to change the world around a drink with friends, and also dreaming

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That's more a general observation than something I've done, but let's say, for instance, surviving my countless falls in the stairs without even a broken bone. I'm not really the lucky kind of girl, but I must have a protective star somewhere...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some french of course! Or recipes (never found anyone who disliked french crêpes), or both :)

And I'd love to share laughs and interesting conversation on whatever topic would happen to be raised!
